Feb. 26, 2013

Audiovisual distributor Almo Professional A/V today announced a new distribution agreement with Elo Touch Solutions, a global supplier of touch-enabled interactive digital signage technology, which it will be showcasing at its booth at this year's Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas.

"Our resellers are experiencing increasing demand for large format touch-enabled displays," said Sam Taylor, executive vice president and COO for Almo Professional A/V, in the announcement. "We're partnering with Elo Touch Solutions because they provide a broad portfolio of screen sizes and touch technologies our resellers can incorporate into their projects with the service and support to back Elo's innovative products."

As a result of the agreement, Almo Pro A/V reseller partners now have access to Elo's touch interactive experiences in screen sizes ranging from 7 inches to 70 inches. Almo will show attendees how to make brand experiences interactive by experiencing streamlined distribution on a personal level during DSE, Feb. 26-28, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, according to the announcement.

"The Elo team is excited to engage with the Almo digital signage thought leaders and certified Pro A/V technology experts," said Craig Witsoe, CEO of Elo Touch Solutions, in the announcement. "Together we will help resellers and end-users realize the possibilities for digital signage to help education, government, hospitality, health care and retail organizations enhance their audience experience and optimize communications efficiency."

Elo interactive digital signage displays are designed to provide reliable performance in challenging public environments with a steel chassis and tempered pure glass. Multitouch and gesture support enable intuitive touch with a finger, gloved hand, prosthetic, stylus, credit card and/or pen, the company said. Optional slide-in computing modules feature Intel Core i3 or i5 processors to enable the digital signage to become an integrated all-in-one unit with simplified installation and maintenance. Elo IDS also supports the Intel Open Pluggable Specification to integrate with other OPS-compliant computing modules.

Attendees at DSE 2013 can interact with the Elo 42-inch Interactive Digital Sign in the Almo Professional A/V booth, which will feature examples of retail and health care applications.
